Ocean task force listens to West coast needs

Environmentalists outside the San Francisco Hyatt were preaching to the choir the Obama Administration's Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force was created to protect the nation's oceans, coasts and great lakes.

"We can have a much more effective, efficient, durable set of policies and practices that make it clear its fine to use oceans, you just can't use them up," says Dr. Jane Lubchenco from NOAA.

The task force came to San Francisco to gather input for shaping national policy on ocean use.

"Economic, ecological, commercial, fishing, recreational, and certainly security uses and interests sometimes are not all in agreement as to how to move forward or how to use those spaces," says U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Sally Brice-O'Hara.
